We live in a non muslim country. My parents bought a cake that had gelatin in it. Before eating I checked the ingredients and it said that their was gelatin in it. I asked my mom about it and she said that my dad bought it so it must be halal. The next day we were having the cake and once again I asked my mom if it was halal she asked my dad and he said that he didn't check the ingredients because he didn't think a cake can have gelatin or something like that. I feel horrible about this. Is it my fault that I ate it?If so how do I repent.

Islamic Verse written on paper inside a islamic case necklace?

Assalaam Alaiqum wa Rehmat Allah.
May Allah SWT have mercy on all of us
I got this necklace from my grandma. Let me summon up the story real quick. My moms sides family is Turkish and as you know the “nazzar” eye which claims to protect you from the evil-eye is Shirk. If I ever got a nazzar eye as a gift I wouldn't have it myself on because I would have known is Shirk.
I got this as a gift, she said that she gotten this from Turkiye (don’t know where) and it is a Quran Verse written on a paper rolled up inside this little box or cage, I don’t know the name sorry.
Here’s my questions. Can I believe in it to protect me or just having it on? Is it Shirk or any makrooh or a sin to wear it around my neck? If I don’t believe in it and only having it on, is it allowed/acceptable? I’m male so am I even allowed to wear it?
I heard that some (fake) sheikhs that give them out for free but there are of names Shaytan written instead. They may even be sold outside from shops.
Jazakallah for Reading and May Allah keep us guided to the straight path Amin.

Hadith about Nisab corresponding to Yearly Living Cost

In the book titled "Contemporary Zakat" by Mahmoud Abu-Saud, he quotes a Hadith which I'm rephrasing here: "The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) order a Zakat Collector by the name of Abu Hathama to take whatever is beyond the living cost."
From this Abu Saud validates the idea that the Nisab corresponds to the average family yearly living cost.
Where can I find this Hadith? I need the reference. If someone has access to his book, please verify if this Hadith is authentic.

I am a bit embarrassed to talk about this but I need to ask: I read websites saying that ghusl is only necessary if the discharge that comes out is accompanied by pleasure and not just desire. However I have a problem: I don’t know the difference between these feelings. I read that for women the discharge also needs to be yellow and mine doesn’t seem to be yellow when aroused but I’m still unsure.
I want to ask, if i feel my private parts clench/contract at a sexual thought, does that require ghusl? I feel weird asking this but I get clenches/contractions down there quite often when aroused and I’m aroused everyday so I don’t know if I actually have to do ghusl. It’s really stressing me out. It would be quite difficult to actually have to renew my ghusl for each prayer so that’s why I’m asking.

Since Pandemic I had not found work and now I am visiting my home country with my children first time. There is a tradition of giving chocolates, gifts and clothes.
Buying all things for everyone put me on a very very tight budget which impact my family situation.
Islam says to gift your relative and when you visit someone gift them as well and at one place it is mention that Allah give someone who gives even more.
With all this, what is one suppose to do according to Islam? On one side if one doesn’t give family gift they might be seen as stingy and if one gives out then it doesn’t save anything for my family.
What Islam says about someone in my condition?
P.S - My mom had been supporting my family financially during this time.

Assalam alaykum
I tend to have issues with memory and concentration, so during namaz I am always forgetting how many rakat I have prayed. and I am always praying more rakat than I need to.
I have taken a video of me while praying to make sure if I prayed right or not, and I always pray the correct amount of rakat.
But when I am praying, I get waswasah and end up praying extra rakat just to make sure that my prayer is valid, and so for example I would pray 5 rakat for zuhr.
Deep down I know that I am praying right but I am always getting wasasah that I haven't prayed enough rakat, so for the past year or so I have been praying extra just in case.
Please help.

Is it haram to give grandfather's first name to a child as her surname?
I want to ask that I was recently blessed with a daughter and my husband gave her his father's name as her surname (my daughter's grandfather) instead of giving his own name to her. Like her name is "fatima mansoor" instead of "fatimah usman". So is it permissible to do this in islam?

Question about Quran createdness (kalam al-nafsi and kalam al-lafdhi)

Kalam Nafsi is the eternal speech of Allah, while Kalam Lafdhi refers to the created speech of Allah within time and space. Ibn Hajar, writing about the opponents of Kalam Lafdhi, states that some went so far as to affirm the uncreatedness of the paper and ink by which the Qur'an was written:
> As for Bukhārī, he was tried by those who said ‘The voices of the
> slaves (of Allah) are uncreated’ until some of them went overboard and
> said, “**The same goes for the ink and the paper after being written (i.e.
> they are also uncreated**).” وأما البخاري، فابتلي بمن يقول: أصوات العباد غير مخلوقة، حتى بالغ بعضهم فقال: والمداد والورق بعد الكتابة فكان أكثر كلامه في الرد عليهم (Source )
Is this still an acceptable position within Sunni Islam? Are there still scholars who hold this position? Further reading and sources would be greatly appreciated.

Why is there a number difference of angels in these two verses? Is it 1000 or 3000 or 5000 angels
(3:124-125 ):
>[Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with **three thousand angels** sent down?
>
>Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allāh and they [i.e., the enemy] come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with **five thousand angels** having marks [of distinction]."
(8:9 ):
>[Remember] when you were asking help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with **a thousand from the angels**, following one another."
People have interpreted it as a thousand following another thousand*
*Update: hadith almost never truly contradicts the Qur'an. So the Ibn Abbas interpretation, if reliable, is valid.

Allah say's:One Muslim's honor/respect is deposit(amanot)for other muslim.
In this verse Allah means not to see others muslim's private parts or look at them with lust
Rasul (SA) tell us to not see anyone thigh live or dead.
Hentai are not alive creature and how can we say they are dead when they haven’t life anytime?
Rasul (SA) also say that eyes zina is see/watch but zina can only be done with alive creature.
Watching another person private parts are haram but hentai are not person or someone else's (another girl's)drawing.they are imagine.
